What is Andrew Rosenthal mad about this week? Donald J. Trump’s rise, says Mr. Rosenthal, has provided a platform for some of the “most appalling people in national politics,” including Newt Gingrich (“a narcissist, just like Trump, with a history of treating women badly”) who made news this week when he took jabs at the Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly. | What is Andrew Rosenthal mad about this week?

“With any luck,” says Mr. Rosenthal, “if Hillary Clinton is elected, we won’t have to hear from Newt Gingrich again — ever.” | “With any luck,” says Mr. Rosenthal, “if Hillary Clinton is elected, we won’t have to hear from Newt Gingrich again — ever.” |
Bad news of the week: Less than two weeks from the election, says Mr. Rosenthal, we are faced with all kinds of important issues we are not talking about; one of these is gun control, and Mr. Rosenthal has some thoughts about the issue and the Second Amendment. | Bad news of the week: Less than two weeks from the election, says Mr. Rosenthal, we are faced with all kinds of important issues we are not talking about; one of these is gun control, and Mr. Rosenthal has some thoughts about the issue and the Second Amendment. |
Last, the good news. It comes from Cleveland, where the Indians, a team that has not won a series since 1948, played against the Chicago Cubs, which has not won since 1908. In a blast of poesy, Mr. Rosenthal, quoting his wife, Mary Beth, reflects on the contest of underdogs that is this year’s World Series, and pronounces baseball a game that is “all about heart.” Plus, says Mr. Rosenthal, “it’s an American game, a great series, and it is not about the election.” | |
